Description : When our ancient ancestors migrated out of Africa (which probably happened several times), it was likely driven by drought. I tried to imagine that in this piece, using the fantastic trap track, looperman-t-2047901-0201182-barley-grass-contender, unmodified, as the musical template.
The DAW I used is Audacity (not in the list).
It's fun to imagine history and I hope you enjoy this attempt.

    Thank you! Just so you know, the trap track is just as it was. I didn't change it, just used it as is, and let it shape the lyrics accordingly. That break in the middle is there in the trap track, for example, and that shaped my little story, the first half going in and the second half coming out of the desert after nearly expiring. The shape of the story was determined by the shape of the music, which was handed to me on a silver platter. I love this type of exercise - or game. Find a great trap track and lay lyrics on it as is. Thanks, Tumbleweed, I have used many of your loops and have always appreciated your musicianship, which far exceeds mine.

    YO Mofo, this is visionary bro, you will now be known as the loopermans Attenborough, love the grass and reed sound to represent the primates passing through snapping the sun drenched greenery. im all for saving the planet and protecting our history and animals alike, but theres a way to get your message out there, like this, its not like being dictated to like that fucking hypocrite gretta thurnberg, blaming my generation for destroying things and introducing plastic, well our shopping was in paper bags as were sweets fruit too milk and fizzy pop all recycled glass. yes we had chocolate but not with fooking plastic toys in like today and we walked to school in all weather rain snow and ice, 3 miles, unlike today, they jump in mums 4x4 and its only 500 yards away. flying round the world leaving a massive carbon footprint, the twat. ok rant over. :))))
    the songs a fucking beauty bro.

    Thank you for your wild and wonderful comment, I really appreciate it. It so happens that I watched a documentary just the other day that featured David Attenborough. He's got to be like 180 years old, and yet there he was in the Badlands of Montana handling dinosaur bones, then there he was at a museum in Britain, then there he was in Africa somewhere with the natives. If I can do that stuff when I'm his age, well, that'll be something.
    It's fun to learn stuff and then to imagine based on that, back into the past, for example, or out past the nearest stars to the black holes that occupy the center of every galaxy. What I try to do more and more is to keep an open mind, to let no one do my thinking for me, because they're all wrong, to think my own thoughts, and that obligates me to learn as much as I can about everything so that I can think the right thoughts. Anyway, such is my philosophy of the day! Thank you for listening and responding and getting me thinking!

    I saw that climate change and the deforesting of Africa forced the apes to walk upright to see predators in the tall grasses that flourished in their new habitat. Oh my aching back! Drought caused issues with the Sumerian civilizations. How bad are the droughts out in the western US now? Dang!

    Interesting piece, stark, menacing, robotic, futuristic, barren at times. The vocals go well with the music, they compliment each other.

    Thank you!
    I have a monkey hat that I sometimes wear to remind me of where we came from. Just kidding. I wear it to amuse my grandkids.
    The past is interesting to learn about because it's always changing. Or, that is, our understanding of it is.
    I'm interested in the sunken continents like Beringia and Doggerland. I believe they're rich with ancient settlements, artifacts and bones that would completely change our human storyr, but we can't get to them as they're underwater. It always amazes me that, the more we know, the less we know. Everything I learned in school is now wrong. But, I guess, that just keeps it interesting.

Description : Spoken Word with Rhythm. It's a song about dedication and being there for the one you love. People can easily say what they are going to do but not really mean any of the words. I learned a hard lesson in that today.

Description : I think of this as "melodic talking" rather than "spoken word" or "rap", but I always struggle with what to label my stuff. The music is drum and voice, very basic. Mixed using Audacity (not in the list).
Look back to your forebears, look ahead to your children and their children, and that - that chain of generations - is your river - of life, of DNA, of blood. It's a potent metaphor for me and I keep trying to capture it in a song. What do you think of this one?

Description : Spoken word - melodic talking - redneck hiphop - dubpop - I dunno. This song is part of "The Love Offensive" where I'm writing a bunch of simple, direct songs around the theme of more love, less hate. Just going with the flow of my natural weirdness. Orchestration is 5 loops from rmce, thedarkflamemaster, bosni, rasputin1963 and blackmansta10. Please let me know what you think.
